The oxidation number for phosphorus is +3: four covalent bonds with oxygen atoms yield +4 and the central charge yields -1. The oxidation numbers of oxygen and hydrogen are -2â¦ and +1 respectively. The oxidation number of the overall ion is -1.
I. OXIDATION NUMBERS When chemical elements combine in a chemical reaction to form a chemical compound, they will lose, gain, or share electrons in forming a chemical bond. The number of electrons that an atom loses, gains, or shares when it bonds with another atom is known as the oxidation number of the atom. Elements which lose electrons in a chemical reaction, or which have electrons which are shared with another element deficient in electrons, are assigned positive oxidation numbers.
